Need some help getting traffic to my site
I'm not getting any visitors or traffic to my site at all. I might get 2 visitors a day at the current rate. The site went live on August 30th,2008 and I submitted to yahoo and google manually the next day. Google and yahoo have been crawling the site hardcore, but i'm not getting the traffic that I hoped for and even close.
My site isn't fully SEO'd yet, I do know that and the web design team said it would take 3 more weeks. It's already been 1 week since they started on the SEO.
What can I do to get the word out about my business? What things have you tried that haven't worked and what did work? Any of these ideas free or do they cost?
Thanks!
Here is my site if you want to take a look at it. http://www.halessales.net
Very visitor unfriendly site
I looked for a long time to find what you where selling what I read was so much about shipping and only after I read what some one else wrote about your site I went back and found your Categories. Need to work badly on getting it seen more.

Just make sure content is worth coming back and your traffic will be there with them.
But sometimes it takes a while though. Just be a bit patient.

First Step: Give a motivation.
Second Step: Spread the word.
Last Step: Build a community.
